Yesterday I was invited to attend an interesting round table discussion by Brainstorm, a local IT focussed magazine.

I am not going to cover what was discussed, as this will be published in Brainstorm soon.

What was interesting to me was that the vast majority of the panel are looking at the topic from the perspective of data security, privacy and the like. Very few were looking at the broader data management implications – data governance, data quality, metadata management, master data management, etc. – that are necessary in order to cost effectively deliver compliance.

Does this Data Security focussed view of Governance, Risk and Compliance fit with the real world perception of where the problem lies? What are your experiences?
